Poor Keith looks a little seedy in the booth today, they had a fun night last after the celabration he said.

[A Boy Named Seo]

"We were always all-stars after midnight", sez Keith.

Well said.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Black vests over black shirtsleeves for the Roxettes makes no sense.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

The Duke has his pants hiked high above the thigh, but no stirrups to be found.

EDIT: I had about 3 or 4 errors in that one sentence. I need to proofread better.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Jennings gets branded with stitch marks on a Reyes comebacker, but Atkins retires Jose off the rebound.

[Zvon]

OUCH!
Reyes hits Jennings with a line drive to start the game!
But Jose's still thrown out on the caroom off the pitchers inner thigh.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

El Duque is orange-dotted today, his mates are not.

They seem to have removed the dots from the top of the helmets as well, but haven't gone old school with the domes themselves.

[metirish]

Gary says the Rockies are ready to call up Kaz,might have done for this series but didn't want the distraction.

[metirish]

Ron says that for game one of the 86 WS he ordered some funtons for family that were coming on for the game, Ray Romano delievered them...Romano claims it was game 6.

[Guest KC]

Looks and sounds like Keith feels a little old today, someone tell him to
hit the kill switch on his mic when he groans lol.

[Zvon]

[Guest KC]

And with that Delgado KABOOMS over the 410 mark dead center.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Delgado's homer gives the Mets a 1-0 lead.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Dead center and waaaaaay back.

1-0 Metropolitans

[stevejrogers]

="Zvon"]

Sweet. Like the pinstripes

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Ronny's having a birthday party tonight.

Someone take Dykstra's keys.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Nice hitting by Milledge.

High socks in scoring position for Beltran, 2 out.

[Zvon]

....so Milledge has been hittin, huh?

His single makes it 1st and 3rd (ElDooky), 2 out.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

OK - I can breathe now.

El Duque had runners on 2nd and third with none out and strikes out the next three batters. Whew!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Strikes out the side after the leadoff men reach scoring position.

Beautiful.

1-0 Mets, Bottom 5

[Zvon]

Whew-
ElDouque starts the inning shakey, giving up a single and a double to lead it off, but then steps it up and strikes out the side.

Nice.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

El Duque says, "Fuck nursing a 1-run lead - I'm going to lead off strong!"

He bunts his way on and makes it to second on the bad throw to lead off the inning.

[Zvon]

ElDouque with a surprise 1 out bunt and Rocks catcher Torrealba throws it into right!

Get him home Reyes.

[Zvon]

Reyes gets rung up on a pitch a tad outside.
Man, he was pissed off.
Stared down the ump.

ElDouque steals 3rd!!!!!!!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A bigger surprise - El Duque steals third!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

El Duque just stole third base. Standing.

That's just mean.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Lastings is claiming he was HBP, but nobody is believing him.
